Cinematic Design intent note
​
In this team, as a Cinematic Designer, my role required several types of missions.

Participate in the development, maintenance and updating of the list of specifications and tools used by the teams.
Provide support to the teams.
Prologue management
​
I arrived on the production of the Prologue towards the end of the development. All the "Seamless" transitions between gameplay and cinematics, debugging and optimization had to be done.
​
The Prologue is linked with gameplay and "main" cinematics. At each passage of these, "secondary" cinematics are activated or deactivated .
Dawn of Ragnarök DLC management
​
On this DLC, I came in at the beginning of the production. I was in charge of the discussions with the cinematics directors, and the main team in charge of the project to determine the feasibility of the cinematics and what we would need.
​
Once this was done, I sent the cinematics layouts to MOCAP. I integrated them into the engine and prepared the transitions with the gameplay to geet "Seamless" or "Cut".
I also put all the NPCs and props in the cinematics so that they could be animated by the animators.
